“The best travel advice continues to be written by people who know what they’re talking about and who are passionate about their recommendations. We’re delighted to announce this year’s winners of our Experts’ Choice Awards.” – Chris Blume, Chief Content Officer
Experts’ Choice recognizes the world’s best travel businesses. It’s the only industry accolade based on professional reviews from travel guides, magazines, newspapers, and other respected sources. Unlike user reviews, which are subject to abuse and bias, Tripexpert gathers only content written by people who have travelled extensively in the country that they’re covering and who can provide reliable and unbiased advice. In the last 12 months, the Tripexpert team has focused on adding reviews from new publications and for venues in new destinations.
“It’s an honor to receive the 2024 ‘Experts’ Choice Awards’ recognition from Tripexpert once again this year”, said owner-innkeeper Sallie Clark, who owns and operates Holden House with her husband, Welling Clark. “While we strive everyday, to achieve excellence in hospitality, the validation of organizations such as Tripexpert, and our guest reviews, underscore that we are achieving our ultimate goal, quality guest stays and accommodations.”
The Victorian entry is what innkeeper Sallie Clark would say was love at first sight when she and her husband first saw the house in 1985.
About 120,000 reviews have been added; many are extracts from long-form articles published in major newspapers and travel guides. “Tools of modern technology like artificial intelligence are helping travelers research trips, plan itineraries, and more. But these tools rely on a bedrock of high-quality data. Our focus for over 10 years at Tripexpert has been to surface the most accurate and helpful travel review data,” said Chris Blume, Chief Content Officer.
